Chris Berens new dreamlike paintings on photo paper

Amsterdam painter Chris Berens has a show of new work opening today at Seattle's Roq La Rue Gallery. Above, "Microcosmos," (mixed media on panel, 20" x 20"). Below, "Leap" (mixed media on panel, 18" x 18"). Berens's dreamy images have a decidedly Photoshop feel, but they are not digital. (I can tell by the paint drops?) Indeed, he prefers ink on photo paper to oil on canvas. All of the work is also viewable online. From Roq La Rue: LINK: Boingboing

Steven LaRose

Steven LaRose’s abstract, inky paintings and drawings are a modern interpretation of Japanese textile and scroll art. While not directly representational, except for some repeated flower-like shapes, LaRose’s images are like apparitions, vaguely hinting at more tangible and recognizable forms. LINK
